~Bull}{Dog~ Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 but i do have to say all in all the game looks like a pile of steaming crap. i think the graphics look like they are the same calibur as half life 1, which came out how many years ago? Sorry, but thats complete crap.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted December 16, 2003 Author Veteran Share Posted December 16, 2003 Sorry, but thats complete crap.. then seriouly something must be very wrong on my end then becasue i am being very serious when i say this... i am a designer by profession so i tend to look at graphics first and foremost and pick them apart in my head (how did they get this texture so detailed, look at the lighting, etc. etc.) and teh game seriously looks really bad to me, like i said half life 1 calibur graphics... if i was on that comp i would take a screenshot of them and let you decide for yourself but im on my mac right now "working"... maybe i need a complete new install or something i dont know... but im with you bulldog it should be complete crap, as i have seen screen shots of the game myself and it is not what i am getting on my end...

sanctified Veteran Posted December 17, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 17, 2003 people like to whine a lot nowadays, the original Deus Ex used to have this exact same problem out of the box, but a patch fixed out and turned to be one of the best games ever made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctebah Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 some gamma and brightness would fix that picture just fine. also the light biomod makes it lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted December 17, 2003 Author Veteran Share Posted December 17, 2003 ,Dec 17 2003, 01:53] nothing is perfect put of the box, thats the hard reality, at least they care enough to make a patch, also, how much you waited? 2 weeks? damn, thats a long time :rolleyes: and to comment on the quoted statement that nothing is perfect out of the box, yes patches are released for games, but that does not mean that games are not playable out of the box. as a matter of fact that 3 "major" games i have played previous to this game were for my purposes actually perfect out of the box, meaning i did not have to nor did i use any patches released for the game. this includes max payne 2, prince of persia, and call of duty. as i said i did not need or use a patch for any of these games and they not only were playable but i enjoyed all of them greatly and beat them all (minus PoP still playing it) without ever installing a patch. but you know what? that is all irrelevant because if a game needs a patch to work (if a game needs a patch to work? anyone else see the problem with this statement?) i will use it. and actually stevan the reason the game is so dark in my screenshots is because i had to play with the gamma and brightness in order to get rid of the "rainbow artifacts" on screen. what i mean by "rainbow artifacts" is after i installed the patch and first launced the game, i was hit with super bright rgb colors in areas of darkness within the game, which could only be fixed by tweaking the gamma and birghtness the way you see it. yes bloom fixed the issue but bloom also slowed the game down a good amount, so i chose the lesser of 3 evils. and for the record the screenshots are a little darker than what i was actually seeing...

sin-ergy Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 screenshot 02... both screens are at 1024 * 768 with multisampling set to 4... do they really look that good at all? maybe i am just crazy and expect more thanks to games like max payne 2 and prince of persia... i agree, althrough deus ex 2 and say, prince of persia are two completely different types of games, if you compare the graphics from both games, deus ex 2 looks like junk. I dunno about you guys but I think ppl over at ion storm are color blind. By the end everything was starting to look so ugly and similar I was getting sick :/ Even the weapons. I swear I never looked at the weapons twice. And what the hell is up with the helicopter? WHERE ARE THE TEXTURES?!? Anyways, i suppose the plot is good enough to at least beat it once. Even though the ending I got kinda sucked. Oh and my newest addiction is beyond good and evil. another awesome game from ubisoft :) i love this game :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
